            &lt;h4&gt;A one of a kind oasis is at risk of disappearing soon.&lt;/h4&gt;

For thousands of years Azraq was a massive, thriving oasis whose ecological diversity supported human settlements, but in recent decades it has come dangerously close to drying up due to increased water usage from surrounding cities.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
